    (2010-08-05T19:07:04Z) Decker, Carol L.; Daley, James G.; Adamek, Margaret E.; Black, Carolyn; Haase, Joan E.
    Research has shown that adolescents with cancer (AWC) face treatment that is complex, invasive, and onerous. Coming during a time with major developmental changes, it brings the potential of making high demands on the coping capacity of these adolescents. Using the theoretical frameworks of stress and coping, life-span development and Haase's (1996) Adolescent Resilience Model (ARM), this study explored the influences of social support and family environment on coping for AWC.
